Democratic Reform Meeting at Easton.

Democratic Reform Meeting at Easton.
A reform Democratic meeting was held at
Easton, on Tuesday, at which speeches were
made by John A. Cowen, s. T. Wallis, ex-
Gov. Hamilton and Gen. Bradley T. John
son.
In his speech ex-Gov. Hamilton said there
is no one connected with the reform move
ment who has the interest of candidates TO
promote. The movement is a necessity for
the permanent success of the Democratic
party. He discussed the fraud charges in
Baltimore in the same line with the other
speakers. He said he has no alliance or SYM
pathy with the Republicans. There is
enough power in the Democratic party to
keep Maryland from the Republican control
ifpurity of elections and good candidates are
assured. The party has improved its meth
DDS somewhat since 1888, the result of agita-
ton. He reviewed and criticised the State
financial management at length.

A communication was received from the

SILK Worm Culture in Maryland.

Tho Womans National Silk Culture Asso-
citation, having its headquarters in Philadel-
phia, desires to introduce silk-worm culture
in Maryland. The association has arranged
with a number of land owners in the neigh
borhood OF Odenton, TO sell ten acre lots at
$25 an acre to persons intending to engage
in the business. One of the requisites is null
berry trees, and these, 1t is said, flourish in
perfection in the sandy soil around Odenton.
To any one buying one ofthese ten acre tracts
the association gives 100 mulberry trees and
10000 silk worms. They also give to each
buyer 100 California grape-vines.
The profits, according TO the associations
published statements, are enormous.
An article in the Baltimore Herald says
1t appears that Il thread of silk $50 yards long
can be obtained from one cocoon. silk is as
marketable an object as wheat, and can always
command IS per pound, according to the printed
Information bearing upon the subject given In
the circular Of the association. Only a build
ing In which the proper temperature can always
be kept up appears to be necessary, any kind of
frame structure answering the purpose. The
eggs are never allowed to develop into the moth
state, but are destroyed In the cocoon stage
WuCu tuEchu ID
In one year, according to the statement Of the
association, the tract pays for itself, and after
that the tract acquires each year more and more
value until the result is something astonishing.
In eight years the quantity of silk that can be
raised upon the land makes 1t worth several
thousand dollars per acre. The business has re-
ceived more thorough trial In Southern Cali.
fornia than anywhere else In the United States.
Before the raising Of silk was made business
there the land belonged to Mexlcans. The
gradual establishment OF small homes there by
silk-growers, whose numbers have increased
year by year, haye made Americans owners of
the land instead Of Mexicans. profit of up
ward OF s4oO per acre, 1t appears, Is very COM
monty made.
The lands in the lower part of Hartford
county may be equally as we'll adapted for
raising mulberry trees as those in Anne
Arundel county, but we would advise our
farmers there not to be in too great hurry in
engaging in the business. Many years ago,
as our as older readers will remember there
was great excitement over somewhat sim
liar project, the cultivation of the mo,us null
tica@as tree, species of mulberry, the leaves
OF which are much priced as food for silk
worms. Hundreds of people engaged in its
cultivation, expecting to make handsome
fortunes, but there were no buyers and the
speculation subsidized, the only persons who
realized anything being the tree peddlers.
